4. Theme or focus of images
All of this photographer’s landscapes are set in the countryside instead of a
landscape of a city which suggests this is the setting he prefers. The majority of the
photos at least a third of the picture is sky which gives a nice contrast to the
landscape used, all of the shots are nature shots containing trees, fields, plants or
even mountains so we know this photographer enjoys the beauty of the nature and
try’s to capture it in his photos. Photo 1 was taken of Mount Fuji in Japan, Photo 2 and
3 was in France, Photo 4 was in Belgium, Photo 5, 6 and 7 was in England. This shows
this particular photographer doesn’t mind travelling to achieve his shots. These photos
if you want to buy them from the photographer range from £500-£750 so it’s obvious
other people enjoy his work and are willing to spend their hard earned money on his
art.
Composition
All of the shots are wide angle and we can see the photographer likes getting the
most in the frame that he can but capturing the best areas. Usually in this
photographers work the most important are of the photo is framed in the centre.
The photographer already gets a pretty wide angle on his photos but he could go
even further back but I don’t think that would improve it, because I think he’s just the
right distance from his centrepiece and main attraction for his photo.
Techniques used
Most of the photos because they are bright would have needed a reasonably fast
shutter speed to make sure the shot doesn’t get too bright but on the other hand
some of the shots are overcast so he would have needed to make it average so it
wasn’t too dark or too bright. There is a black and white filter on the first photo of
Mount Fuji and maybe some colour touch up on the tree in photo 7 to draw your eye
too it, done in post-production. Apart from that the photographer seems to take
pretty untouched photographs.
Strengths & Weaknesses
5. I think the strengths of his work is the framing of his shots and how the centre is always
where the most important part of the photo is. I also like how simple the photos are.
I think a couple of the weaknesses are some of the photos skies could have been
touched up and made to look more bright because a few are gloomy even though
it’s supposed to be a bright photo.
